Hi - I am back making beads! It's hard when the kids are home from school all summer - I'm lucky to get a couple hours in, in the morning, before the asking and fighting begins! Here's a new set I put up on my etsy site tonight - hopefully I'll be getting more pairs and small sets up there soon. I'll also have a couple auctions going up on ebay tomorrow night.

The kids are going to DC with their dad - they should have fun too. It will be nice that all the storms have finally passed! I hope you all have a great weekend, too!

But noticed on the end that you could see the white container through the ends. So I got a sharpie out for the next one, and colored the ends so they didn't look so white. Then I made a few more of these beads, and quite honestly, I was done with...
